Slashdot effect over?

For years I’ve hit Slashdot as a morning ritual; what’s going on in the world of IT. It’s been one of my staples for an (almost) accurate snapshot of the zeitgeist.

Recently I’ve been using Digg and Memeorandum – often in addition to Slashdot.

I saw an interesting post on TechCrunch pointing out that Digg has grown almost as large as Slashdot in just one year (in terms of traffic).

Wow.
